Standing As A Candidate

[maggiebee]

There seem to be many strong and politically minded people on this site. Have any of you ever stood as a candidate for your chosen party - or would you in the future?

[Zacs-Master]

No, I have one qualification too many. Integrity.

[EDDIE51]

I have been asked by Labour and by the Lib dems to stand for the local council and turned them both down.

[corylus]

No way!!

[ummmm]

I couldn't do it because besides being a bit dim I can never remember anyone's names :-)

[naomi24]

No. I've never been a member of a political party.

[murraymints]

[maggiebee]

Ha ha Murraymints, look forward to seeing your name up there in the future.

Stand as a candidate you bet as long as I thought I stood a chance of winning ,I'd love a chance to line my pockets like those leeches in Westminster

[TWR]

They like rs wipers in our town Maggie, I would not fit their agenda.

[atalanta]

You'd have to pay me more money than the whole world possesses to make me get into politics.

[Barmaid]

I once stood for local office. Although I stood as an Independent.
